Argues against theories deriving values either from natural existence or from spiritual consciousness. Considers values originated from the production that is claimed to be a unity of bringing into existence and bringing into consciousness. For understanding psychological aspect of such values a psychology based on production principle (instead of that of either nature or spirit) is needed. A paradoxical need for freedom is presented as one that is considered by such a psychology a specifically human basic need. — An English version of a chapter is published as Conflict. → Full text (in Hungarian).
